Aldara Buyer and Patient Handbook in Malaysia

What is Aldara?

Aldara is a topical cream containing imiquimod, a medication classified as an immune response modifier. It’s used in Malaysia to treat external genital and perianal warts (caused by the human papillomavirus, HPV), superficial basal cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer), and actinic keratosis (precancerous skin lesions). Aldara isn't an antibiotic or antiviral in the traditional sense; it stimulates your body’s immune system to fight off the HPV virus and abnormal skin cells. It is available with a doctor’s prescription and is registered with the Malaysian Ministry of Health.

Who Should Use Aldara?

Aldara is primarily suitable for adult patients (18 years and older) diagnosed with external genital or perianal warts, superficial basal cell carcinoma, or actinic keratosis by a healthcare professional. It's important that a doctor confirms the diagnosis and determines if Aldara is the appropriate treatment. The cream is not suitable for use in children or adolescents. Individuals with compromised immune systems should discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor before use. Considerations should be given to those with sensitive skin or a history of skin reactions.

How Does It Work?

Aldara contains imiquimod, a compound that activates the body's immune system, specifically toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7). When applied to the skin, imiquimod triggers the release of cytokines, which are signaling molecules that help the immune system recognize and destroy cells infected with HPV or those exhibiting cancerous changes. Think of it as a signal flare to your immune system, telling it to focus on problem areas.

While using Aldara, you may experience some skin irritation. This irritation is a sign that the medication is working and stimulating your immune system. It generally doesn’t interfere with daily activities but avoid vigorous exercise immediately after application until you see how your skin reacts. There is no known recreational use of Aldara. Using it for anything other than a doctor’s prescribed purpose is dangerous and ineffective.

Why Choose Aldara?

Aldara offers a non-surgical option for treating HPV warts and certain skin conditions, often avoiding the need for procedures like cryotherapy (freezing) or surgical removal. It works by stimulating the body's natural defenses rather than directly attacking the virus or cancerous cells, which can lead to longer-lasting results in some cases.

Compared to other treatments:

• Cryotherapy: Aldara avoids the discomfort and potential scarring associated with freezing.
• Surgical Excision: Aldara is a non-invasive alternative for patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery.
• Podophyllotoxin: While also used for genital warts, Aldara may be preferred by some due to a potentially lower risk of systemic absorption.
• 5-Fluorouracil (for actinic keratosis): Aldara offers a different mechanism of action, potentially effective where 5-FU fails or is unsuitable.

Off-label/Alternative Uses: While primarily approved for the listed conditions, some dermatologists may consider Aldara for other HPV-related skin lesions, but this should always be under strict medical supervision and is not a standard treatment.

Dosage, Administration, Lifestyle, and Dietary Recommendations

Dosage: A pea-sized amount of Aldara is generally applied to each wart or affected area. For larger areas with actinic keratosis, a thin layer should be applied.

Administration: Apply the cream to clean, dry skin. Wash your hands thoroughly after application, even if you used gloves, to avoid spreading the infection or irritating unaffected areas. Do not wash the treated area for 6-10 hours after application.

Missed Dose: If you miss an application, apply the cream as soon as you remember, unless it’s nearly time for your next scheduled application. Do not apply extra to make up for a missed dose.

Special Populations:

• Elderly: May be more susceptible to skin irritation; start with a lower frequency of application.
• Children/Adolescents: Not recommended.
• Liver/Kidney Issues: Discuss with your doctor, as these conditions may affect how your body processes imiquimod.

Lifestyle/Dietary Recommendations: Avoid sun exposure to the treated area as much as possible. Use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) if sun exposure is unavoidable. Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle can support your immune system.

Precautions and Warnings

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Aldara is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Discuss alternative treatments with your doctor.
• Eye Contact: Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Mucous Membranes: Do not apply to mucous membranes (e.g., inside the mouth, nose, or vagina) unless specifically directed by a doctor.
• Spread of Infection: Be cautious to avoid spreading the infection to other areas of your body or to other people.
• Skin Irritation: Expect some skin irritation which is a sign it's working. However, excessive redness, swelling, blistering, or pain requires medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Potential Side Effects

• Common: Redness, swelling, blistering, itching, pain, crusting, and scabbing at the application site. These are generally mild to moderate and resolve as treatment continues.
• Less Common: Flu-like symptoms (fatigue, fever, muscle aches), headache, skin discoloration.
• Serious (Rare): Severe allergic reaction (rash, hives, difficulty breathing), autoimmune reactions (rare but possible - consult your doctor immediately).

Who Should Avoid This Medication?

• Individuals with a known allergy to imiquimod or any of the inactive ingredients in Aldara.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
• Patients with severe immune deficiencies (e.g., HIV/AIDS).
• Individuals with active viral infections (other than HPV).
• Those with extensive skin conditions or open wounds in the treatment area.

Storage Instructions

Store Aldara at room temperature (15-3°C or 59-86°F) away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Do not refrigerate. Once opened, use within 3 months.
